It's definitely not one of the buffets you would have up on the top of your buffet list or any list. Like most Chinese buffets, it has different food options for you to pick, from fried stuff to seafood to sushi (not much to choose from) to fruits to dessert. Not many options but this buffet place is pretty cheap, so what else can you really ask for? I would suggest to go for lunch because dinner time it gets packed, like you get a number to wait for a long time kind of packed. The staff there looks bored, lazy and tired. I don't know why but it makes the whole place seem so dead and not lively when you eat there. Some plates might not be washed thoroughly and might still have stains on it so look before you grab one and start piling up the food on the plate. The only thing I really eat here is the seafood because everyone eats it which almost guarantees that it was cooked recently or often, whereas the fried food and noodles, etc I don't want to even guess how long it's been out or how many times they've recooked it. To get your money's worth, just keep eating the clams and mussels and eat only a piece of everything else if you really want to eat other stuff. If you want snow crab legs go at night for dinner because during lunch they don't serve that. The seafood is really all I need from this place. Not the freshest but once again, for lunch on a Saturday was only $11 and it's close by where I live, so can't really complain. But what there is to complain is their sushi, it's just so poorly made and dropped there, and it doesn't look fresh nor appetizing. I used to come here all the time when I was a kid and it still looks the same right now (even the kinds of food stayed the same - not a good thing). The dessert section definitely needs an improvement in choices and options. I usually just go straight to the soft serve ice cream machine for my dessert fix. read more

Generally buffets concern me from a bacterial perspective, while feeling excited about all of the options that are sitting patiently in their trays or on the carving board, ready to be served up. Clearly I am torn on the issue, but when I heard of a seafood buffet, my concerns and excitements were heightened to a whole new level. Seafood sitting out for an nondescript amount of time? You only live once and barring a potential case of legionnaires, I felt it was worth a shot. The tray of exceptional interest to many of the buffet goers, was without a doubt the crab legs, which I never even got to look at as customers were waiting in a pseudo-make shift line with eyes affixed on the door to the kitchen, which the crab refills were sure to come from. So I selected some peel and eat shrimp, basically smallish farmed prawns that needed a lemon, wasabi, cocktail sauce mixture to taste like anything. The clams and mussels fared no better as I scouted the three areas of offerings for additional condiments. Processed crab chunks with their florescent red hue and plastic texture and the baby octopus legs that resembled the top half of a radish, freshly pulled from the ground. The cooked mussels and clams were marginally better and the inescapable trays of Chinese food (egg rolls and noodles) were only being observed, but never selected by any patrons. Perhaps it is the location and proximity to the bay, which sits across the street, where cruse boats and fishing charters are anchored, which generates the crowd that was on hand. Unfortunately I have to report that I just really did not enjoy any of the food that I had. read more

The food selection is not the best and most of it doesn't look very fresh. The waiters are fairly helpful and friendly but there is always one bad apple that spoils the bunch. When I visited this buffet with my family I observed that they had broiled fish as an option but it was simply labeled as white fish. Knowing that there are many different types of white fish I asked the woman that was refilling the buffet. She snapped back "white fish" repeatedly even when I asked her what type and rushed away looking annoyed. Clearly she didn't want to be bothered with customers. This visit was definitely a waste of money because none of us ate much at all. The crab legs were difficult to get and they were very skinny without much to eat. We all agreed that it was hard to find anything other than the salad bar appetizing. Then to top it all off the bill did not reflect the prices posted in the window. Don't waste your time or money like I did coming to this place to eat. read more

Doesn't look like much but we were dying of hunger and decided to pop in. Given a ticket awaiting to be called and though we requested a table for three for a party of three, the host offered a table for two. We declined and she told us we were next, saw a table become available and provided her with notification and she gave the table away to another party. DO NOT RECOMMEND.... Many kids observed playing with food at the buffet tables. read more

The best buffet in Brooklyn! Food is fresh always and yummy. Every time I come I try to eat everything. And the place is well lit so you know there's nothing to hide. Beautiful atmosphere. My fav thing here is the shrimps in lobster sauce. To die for! The boneless ribs are top notch. read more

It get's crazy in here. My bf and I came here on Friday and there was a short line for the table. It was very loud inside though, there were a lot of big parties and kids. So just a warning if your looking for something quiet then don't go here. I looked around at the food selection and we decided to eat here. It smelled good and it looked good, I was convinced. After getting a table, I was getting myself a plate of food when I saw something that horrified me. There was a lady in the chicken wing section who decided upon herself to use her fingers instead of the serving tong by the food and use her fingers to grab herself a chicken wing. Okay well you think that's not bad as long as she takes what she touches, but nope it doesn't end there. She decided that she did not like the wing she picked using her hands, so instead she PUTS IT BACK in the container full of wings and grabs herself again with her fingers a different wing. I didn't have time to say anything, I was so shocked all I had was a disgusted look on my face when she turned and saw me. She didn't say anything, she just simply walked away. Of course, this is not the restaurants fault, the food I say is good and not to mention I love their frozen ice cream, but after seeing that, let's just say that was enough for me not to come back here. Seaport Buffet is a good restaurant and for a buffet they do have a good amount of selection of food and for the most part it looks clean. However, the food is out and they can't help who coughs, sneezes, or picks at the food. BYOB read more

This was a terrible experience.For one the bathroom is horrendous and it reeked of urine.It made me wonder what the kitchen cleanliness was like.The food was bland and the seafood was not fresh.The food choice was limited and my husband couldn't believe he saw a pair of serving tongs in the bathroom just casually hanging there as if it was a regular practice.That's when we knew we had to leave.Our server was sweet despite the facility itself being a fail.Do yourself a favor and skip this place.Don't even eat there if it's for free. read more

Seaport Buffet - Went to eat with my husband and he saw a pair of serving tongs in the bathroom.It leaves one to question the quality of sanitary practices - Buffets Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The buffet was severely disappointing. There was a limited amount of seafood. What was available, seafood or not, was not very good. The best things were the shrimp in lobster sauce and dessert that is clearly not even house-made... That being said it is very affordable and a buffet. It isn't worth the trek out to Sheepshead Bay, but if you're in the area and want a lot of food for an affordable price, check them out. Based off of the food we had when we went, however, your best bet would be to fill up on rice with shrimp in lobster sauce and dessert. The wonton soup didn't even have any wontons when I checked... they didn't come by the refill it either. read more

I love this part of Brooklyn, it's close to the water and is very up and coming. A lot of things to do and eat. So when my Co-Worker, who knows the area pretty well, recommended a buffet, I thought why not. We ended up at "Seaport Buffet" there is only street parking so get ready to wait for parking. Going inside I was impressed with the set up, the food is right in front of you. You walk in, they seat you, then you eat. The place is very clean and organized, I liked seeing staff walk around cleaning. No music, just the sound of everyone eating there meals fills the air. Once you're seated a staff member takes your drink order. There was a mid-size selection of food with most of it being Chinese, not sea food. I wasn't sold on the ribs, they were to tough. I did like all the variety of chickens they offered. I also enjoyed the sushi, even though they filled them a bit light. I also didn't like the seating to much, the booths are a bit tight. I gave it four stars because the staff was on point, but it could have easily have gotten three stars and in ok with that because of the lack of food choices. I guess if I'm in the area I would go back, I just know it's not enough good choices to put me into my well deserved coma. read more

Not sure I'd come back here. The price is right for a buffet but the food here is just as good as your local ordinary local Chinese restaurant. & with that being said it may be over priced. It definitely didnt help to have a semi warning label at your table that says they will charge you per pound for wastage of food, which is why I gave this 2 stars. It almost made me feel pressured to eat everything single grain of rice of my plate. Regardless the food was decent. I didn't like that they garage caddy for dishes was stationed right in front of the sushi area, but then again I didn't order any, so that review is still up for debate. The hot food was nice and piping hot, cold food was on ice. Foods were replenished quickly and the fruit/dessert bar seemed stacked with goodies. I didn't try any, as I was too full from feeling pressured to finish my meal. However, myself or any of my dinner companions didn't say they be running back for more. read more

The fight for crab legs was real. Took at least maybe three or four attempts to manage to get at least four! The staff doesn't really care about customer service and honestly the food looks sketchy.

Where everyone goes crazy for the crab legs. Food is okay at best and I wouldn't be able to eat too much of it especially when it's AYCE.

This restaurant is literally the worst Chinese restaurant I've ever been to in New York City. Not a single piece of food there was fresh. Every thing tasted like shit. In addition, services at this restaurant were even worse. Servants were playing Pokemon go in front of us instead of serving us or replacing our fucking full dishes. Don't eat there!!! Or else you're wasting your money. read more

Picked this place for its convenience and while I don't typically like buffets this one was pretty good, clean and had enough space for me and colleague to have a business lunch.

Terrible food. The rice was extremely bland and everything else we had was average at best! Definitely will not waste time and money coming back here. I thought I'd get my money's worth eating fruits since the food was terrible and even the fruit was bad. The waitress was sweet but I'm extremely disappointed in the food and having to go eat somewhere else after paying 40-something dollars for 2 of us. Apparently people come here for crab legs so I wanted to try it but unless you're ready to wait in a line for them to come out and hope that you get some from that tray then I wouldn't waste my time. Some people waited on the line and didn't get any and had to just wait there till they come back out with some which is about 15 mins or so. read more

This is a great buffet. The food is very good and the options are plenty. They have a variety of shrimp and other seafood as well as chicken and meat. Walnut shrimp and butter shrimp are my fav. Sushi is ok, nothing special but decent enough for a buffet. The only thing I don't like is the fighting for the crab legs, you have to be super forceful or people will snatch them out of your hands! The also allow BYOB which is nice. Overall, I would recommend this buffet to others. read more

A place of mediocrity. The Food - Soaked in MSG you'll be stuffed after one plate. - Not exactly warm, but that same feeling when you didn't microwave your food long enough and it's "warm-cold." - Nothing tasted fresh, was either leftovers, or cooked earlier in the day. - Refreshments straight from a watered down soda-gun. The Service - Came in with my wife, was in there less than 30min, we both were on our 2nd plates, and we were already being handed a check, felt very rushed. - Gave the lady a tip and she started talking to her friend in Chinese in front of us and told me to pay her more, extremely unprofessional. Conclusion In the end the place wasn't good or bad, just mediocre. Nothing special about the food or service, everything felt like the bare minimum. Good place if you're on a tight budget or short on time, definitely won't be coming here again. read more

Been going to this place for a while and its a pretty decent buffet. Most of the food is geared towards seafood and the typical american chinese food. But the main draw here is the crab legs... You literally have to wait for it to come out and grab a tong... and start trying to grab as many as you can and come out alive. It as actually very amusing, watching russians, chinese and people of all creeds and walk of lives fighting for crab legs...lol. Heres the system ... I call it the "buddy crab system", always come here with a partner and take turns waiting for the crab legs. The minute you arrive one of you grab your plate and fill up on the standard buffet and the other wait for the crab legs.. This part is vital, grab a tong and position yourself so you may be able to grab as many as you can... Preferably the middle.But beware of flankers coming from the opposite to invade you crab leg territory. Do not celebrate until you get to you table as there are small skirmishes for rubbing it in your defeated foes faces. As for the waiters wow.. what can I say? If you have been here there is one dude who will "glare" holes into you for apparently no reason, other than you are not leaving fast enough. He will come clear your table while eating you food... literally pull the shrimp off your fork...haha. Hes obviously been traumatized by dine and ditchers and assumes everyone will do the same... haha. Every time I eat there I pretend I am leaving and watch him inching towards me ready to tackle... In summation , other than the cheap all you can eat crab legs that you must fight for the place is ok. read more

I ate a giant goddamn pile of snow crab legs, and it was amazing. I was in heaven. It was pure bliss for a seafood lover. The shrimp, clams, BBQ rib dishes were also pretty good, not to mention the stuffed mushrooms and delicious Italian-inspired desserts. The waitstaff, I should add, was perfectly pleasant toward myself and my boyfriend with prompt and polite service. It confuses me why everyone thinks they're rude. I wouldn't say it's the greatest atmosphere in the world, and if I were judging based on non-crab-leg items alone it'd probably get 3-4 stars. Still! Crab legs! Come on! I should note that it wasn't fun waiting by the crab legs with my tongs ready in anticipation, but humans are mammals and fighting for our food is somewhere in our primate-based DNA. This is also a popular restaurant in Brooklyn, so just deal with it. I would have liked to have had "crab pliers" or whatever that utensil is that they give you at other crab-serving restaurants, but having to tear and chomp through the shells also brought out my animal tendencies. But none of this matters because CRAB LEGS! A PILE OF THEM! The end. read more

After all is said and done, its going to cost $50 with tax and tip for two people. The food was just okay. Some was good . And some was just ok. One of the main problems is a lot of the food was not hot enough . Another problem, crab legs, you cannot get them People hovering over the empty station., When they refill the crabs everybody grabs so quick and one guy grabbed almost half a pan and then they don't come out again for another hour . I left there full. But I don't think I'll be going back. read more

Reviewing buffets is always a grey area. Most people rate the quality of food and give them poor ratings. I think most buffets in this price range have the same quality of food. How else would they be able to keep the business model up and running? I like Seaport Buffet. The food was right up there with other buffets I've gone to. I gave them 3 stars because the variety of food was a lot less compared to other places I've gone to. It's your basic selection of food. Price was reasonable. Adjust your expectations of buffets and I think you'll enjoy them more. After all, if you want quality buffets, you can check out Las Vegas for $35 to $50 per person and even then it's not top notch quality. I would return. read more

This is the worst place I ever been to. My boyfriend and I went to this place to eat and just because we look young they force us to pay first. The manager accused us of not paying for food three times. And a worker accused us of staying there for more than 2 hours. This place is full of shit. Workers are very rude. Every time we went we stayed there for only 30min or less. They don't know how to talk to customers. There customer service skills are very POOR! This is the worst buffet I ever been in.NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN AND I STRONGLY SUGGEST NO ONE SHOULD. read more

If you are going to serve overpriced, mediocre food, at least pretend to be friendly. I have eaten here a few times and have yet to be impressed. At the evening buffet, they dump crab legs onto the buffet every 15 to 20 minutes and each time a few customers elbow their way to the front of those waiting and grab everything in sight. When I suggested that they serve the crab legs so everyone gets some, they suddenly had difficulty understanding English...but when it was time to pay the bill, they could again speak English fluently!?!? read more

I have no problem with this place and I come here on the rare occassion I'm in the mood for chinese food. It's the only decent chinese buffet in Brooklyn that isn't overpriced. For those complaining about the sushi...first of all, who the hell goes to a Chinese buffet for sushi? Go to a Japanese restaurant for that. And second, yea the waiters tend to be rude but who cares? You serve yourself for the most part anyway so stop bitching. The only thing I want to add to my review is that they have a new rule now where if you're under 21, you have to pay before sitting to eat which I think is ridiculous but that's about it. I'm not sure if this was done before but I saw I was charged extra for soda. Shouldn't that be included in the buffet? read more

I give them four stars for what they are, a buffet in 2012, which is really hard to find, and in that regard, they're specifically a seafood buffet, with not bad seafood. I've been to some actual restaurants and i've had bad mussels. Their mussels are on point, try them, the mussels in garlic sauce I believe. Shrimp cocktail on point. Crab legs on point, you have to stand around them because they go as soon as they come. At 14.95 for dinner during the week, 16.95 on the weekends, all you can eat, it is a steal. read more

First, lets start with the smell. It's intoxicating. You walk in, the smell hits you like BAM. I couldn't sit inside for half an hour to eat my food. Secondly, the pricing. It used to be one price for everyone including tax and drinks. This last time we went, the pricing system was different. They charged for absolutely everything as if I were in a 5 star restaurant, instead of a 3-star (which, I personally rate even less) buffet. There wasn't much variety in food but the ice cream was good. The only part i liked were the deserts. Anyways, I wouldn't go again. read more

Ok, this is not the regular place I would pick for dinner coming from a day out in the ocean, so what the hell I was thinking? haha,so let me continue... I am very conscious about what I eat... I like healthy food, and not necessarily has to be a fancy places for healthy food. This place is a buffet run by Asians I believed are from Hong-kong... and I tell you why I thought so. If you know about the difference how Chinese vs Hong-kong cooking style is this place will give you a taste of real Hong-Kong style. All the food here is mad fried! yes, perhaps 1 or 2 dishes are steamed but have the final touch of ouster sauce on top. The food doesn't taste bad, what I thought it was bad is that all the buffet is fried. They offer some raw shellfish like clams, and mussels, but the clams smelled like they were rotten so I left them on the side. They have 2 tray with sushi and the sushi rolls are 90% rise 8%vegetable and 2% fish They have a lot of crab legs ( and I am thankful I don't care about crab legs) here the people that usually comes here to eat ( for my experience on what I saw) they come for these crab legs that come out each 15 minutes, and when they come out is a fight among the clients, its disgusting!!!! I wanted to make a video to show you !!! they really fight like they are fighting for their lives! LOL. but then I thought twice and I could have put myself in danger by recording those animals fighting with the utensils trying to grab as many crab legs and not share with anyone else!!!... a real real circus! (not a good example for kids) They have a section with salads and desserts that I did not think it was so bad.( My dinner was from this section). At the salad bar: tuna salad, potato salad, pickles, beets, tomatoes, lettuce onions, jicama, seaweed, boiled eggs etc. This place was full! it's only $25 per person and all you can eat???? of course is going to get jammed! And it is full of kids!!!! lots of kids, lots of fat kids eating lots of fried food and ice cream and all kinds of dessert.... and the same for the adults. Obesity should not exist... this buffet contributes to this epidemic disease 100% I took a lot pics of this buffet... check them out. read more

I like it here, the many times I came with the family for special occasions or holidays. Large space, but during the holidays, it can get crowded! To the point where there is a line inside, to get seated! Guess no one likes to cook during the holidays. Staff is similar to all Chinese buffets or restaurants -- fast, efficient, no smiles or convo, simply taking your plates and getting your drinks refilled. This isn't a complaint; this is something I'm used to and doesn't bother me. But if you expect one-on-one service, intimate conversations or jokes with your server, it ain't gonna happen here. Be prepared. As for claims that they rush you out, they never want you to stay long because they want a large volume of guests to maximize the tip. I have never been rushed out per se, but our family tends to eat and run anyway. Food is mediocre, generic, Chinese American fare, but there's plenty of it and it keeps you full. Highlights: (or the junk I typically eat at these establishments) Spring rolls chicken and broccoli String beans Sweet and sour chicken with sauce Shrimp cocktail chicken nuggets French fries, fried chicken wings Lo-mein Fried rice My favorite dessert --- soft serve ice cream, on a sugar cone, and dipped in chocolate sprinkles. The times I've gone it was creamy and rich. Really enjoyable to eat. I usually fill a soup bowl with chocolate sprinkles and I constantly dip each new bite. YUM! They have an assortment of other desserts, like cut up fruit, jello, other tiny cakes, maybe cream puffs, cookies, but I always avoid them because it never tastes good to me. For seafood lovers, it's optimal to go during dinner hours. read more
